1. Mitosis
Comic Strip
Learning Targets
List the steps of mitosis and the main events in each phase.
Explain the purpose of mitosis

2. The cell cycle begins with interphase.
overview
The cell cycle begins with interphase.

3. The cell cycle
During G 1 phase of the Cell Cycle, the cell grows & all of the cell parts (except for the DNA) is duplicated.

4. The cell cycle
During S phase of the Cell Cycle, the cell’s DNA is replicated (copied).

5. The cell cycle
During G 2 phase of the Cell Cycle, the cell continues to grow. The cell also proofreads itself to check if everything is in good shape so that it can prepare for cell division (mitosis).

6. overview
To make body cells, cells divide via mitosis. This type of cellular division produces identical cells.

7. overview
The last stage of mitosis is called Cytokinesis. This is when the cell’s cytoplasm divides and 2 new identical cells are made.
